An off-duty police officer helped catch a suspected burglar this week when he heard the sound of breaking glass and confronted a man carrying a television out of his neighbor's house.

Officer Kip Ferguson of the Vernon Police Department called city police after the man managed to elude his grasp and drive away from the scene. But Ferguson remembered the car's registration number and the suspect was caught a short time later in Meriden, police said.
